Many Lives One Community - Arizona Museum Capital, Phoenix
Museum of Arizona Artists (MOAZA) and the Arizona Capitol Museum present MANY LIVES ONE COMMUNITY.
March 31 - August 22, 2025 | Arizona Capitol Museum Phoenix
Arizona photographers share their vision through personal stories and perspectives in this group exhibition. The images presented here represent artists from across the Grand Canyon State and at various stages of their careers. Some of them are professionals who have achieved high awards including Guggenheim Fellowships and NEA grants, while others are still students and just starting to shape their careers. The exhibition features a wide range of photographic styles from straight documentary to narrative storytelling to montage images that depict Arizona’s history to beautiful abstract renderings. The Southwest figures prominently in the history of photography, drawing photographers from across the country in the late 19th century to capture its grand landscapes and Indigenous peoples through the romanticized lens of Manifest Destiny. Today, depictions of our state expand the narrative beyond the documentary style of those early views and often show us in relation to each other and where we came from. While the styles and stories presented here by these photographic artists vary widely, they represent the many lives and perspectives that contribute profoundly to our Arizona community.
